Panasonic Viera TC-P50XT50

Full Review

The 50-inch XT50 (MSRP $799) is one of Panasonic's low-end plasma TV series, manufactured for 2012. Unlike almost all of their other TVs this year (plasma and LCD alike), the XT50's maximum resolution is not 1080p, but 720p instead. This, above all else, is what contributes to its relatively cheap price. Surprisingly, this low-end plasma is also smart and 3D capable. Even more surprising is what a solid performer it turned out to be.
